A/N: I do not own any of them except Tyler, Savannah, and Matthew. Though I wish I did. Very short chapters. Sorry. I promise I will update soon. Forgive me, I've been sick.
"Okay, be very quiet, we want to surprise her." Horatio whispered to the children as they crept into Calleigh's bedroom.
He set the tray of food he had brought out on top of her dresser. As he did this, Tyler and Savannah carefully climbed onto her bed. Calleigh was exhausted from all the running around she had been doing for the kids.
"Okay, go ahead." Horatio whispered.
"Wake up Calleigh!" Savannah said excitedly, bouncing on the bed.
"Yeah, come on! It's 8:30 already!" Tyler added.
Calleigh rolled over and moaned before opening her eyes. She stretched out her arms and legs and moved over so they all could sit on the edge of her bed.
"I'm up, I'm up." She murmured tiredly.
"Hatio, Tyler and I made you breakfast." Savannah said with a goofy grin.
"Ooo, that sounds wonderful." Replied, more fully awake now.
"We made pancakes, eggs, sausage, and bacon. Along with a coffee with cream and sugar." Horatio added, sounding like a waiter.
"What's the occasion?" Calleigh questioned.
"For letting us stay here." Tyler answered.
"That reminds me, the lady from social services called. Said she was coming by today around two o'clock. Something about home check." Said Horatio, setting down the tray of food in front of her.
"Oh my! I need to clean and… and… and finish baby proofing! Calleigh spazzed.
"Don't worry about it. I got up early, Tyler and Savannah here got me up. I cleaned up a bit and finished baby proofing. All you have to do is lock up your gun." He reassured.
"Thank you, you're a lifesaver. Okay, let's eat before it gets cold."
"Well, don't you three look adorable." Calleigh said after helping them find what clothes to wear.
Savannah wore a little jean skirt with a flowery top. Her long, dark brown hair was in pigtails at the side of her head. For added beauty, Calleigh placed butterfly barrettes into her hair. Tyler, on the other hand, wore khaki jeans with a nice dress shirt. He looked like a mini Horatio with the exception of the flaming red hair. Instead, he wore his sandy blonde hair neatly gelled down. And last but not least, little baby Matthew wore a baby blue jumper with baseballs and baseball bats on it.
"Okay, I just wanted to tell you guys, that when this lady comes, be yourself. No matter what happens, tell the truth. Do I make my self clear?" Calleigh said, kneeling down in front of them.
Both of the older children nodded their heads whilst Matthew smiled and giggled.
"I'll take that as a yes." Calleigh laughed. "One last thing, I can't promise you guys anything. This lady might decide that I can't keep you. If that happens, be strong. And Tyler, look after your brother and sister."
She looked at them as she said this. Her eyes filled with tears as both Tyler and Savannah wrapped their arms around her neck and enveloped her in a hug.
"I love you guys. Always remember that."
"We love you too." They both responded.
DING- DONG!
"Okay here we go. Tell the truth."
They moved out of Calleigh's room and sauntered down the hallway to the living room.
"Hello?" Horatio said after opening the door.
"Hi there, I'm Nick Orin. I'm from the child services agency. I'm here to inspect the house for child safety." Said the man in the hallway.
"Okay, right this way." Calleigh said as she stood to stand next to Horatio.
"Okay, first thing's first…"
Cliff hangers… don't you hate'em. Gee, what will I do next. READ TO FIND OUT! MUAH! MUAH! (Evil laugh)
